    These words (label) may be removed from the Muslim's minds ...

    Right Wrong

    http//api.ning.com/files/uGCxg7sZSOsBbNwvSUN0m6uFBP5OUvR7e-3lYPcnfzzdki1NKdfBKiMBEzKhhqFLbCaNgzbOCTwHTwBFp0cz3nyqUP-l7F1/arrowDownSmall.png Replace with http//api.ning.com/files/uGCxg7sZSOsBbNwvSUN0m6uFBP5OUvR7e-3lYPcnfzzdki1NKdfBKiMBEzKhhqFLbCaNgzbOCTwHTwBFp0cz3nyqUP-l7F1/arrowDownSmall.png

    Justly balanced Unjust
    (maslahat = mudharat) (maslahat alone or mudharat alone)
    (to all living creatures) (for any selected sects or group of peoples)

    to humanity / living creatures

    (regardless of religion, sects, race or ethnic origin, belief, age etc.)

    From the above, we can see that the Qur'an teaches us how to balance and achieve justice ..

    It is the "Ihdina assirata almustaqeem" (16); "..and you become three kinds.." (567)

    Why it is about balance and just?

    Because ...

    We cannot change to what is right (just) in the fire element. -> unjust to the air, water and earth.
    We cannot change to what is right (just) in the air element. -> unjust to the fire, water and earth.
    We cannot change to what is right (just) in the water element. -> unjust to the fire, air and earth.
    We cannot change to what is right (just) in the earth element. -> unjust to the fire, air and water.
    We cannot change to what is right (just) in all these elements.
    We cannot change what is wrong (unjust) in all these elements.

    However, we can balance the major and minor "right (just)" in all these elements.
    ie. right 1 + right 2 + right 3 + right 4 and so on...

    ...

    Can 0% or less than 50% wrong (unjust) be achieved?

    Nope, because all these elements exist in all living creatures.

    It is Sunnatullah, and Allah is The Just, Al-`Adl (&#1604.

    Therefore, our real issue in life is why human are fighting each other and standing for what is right or wrong? (refer here)

    Our real issue in life is why not stand up for human unity, based on what is just and balance?

      Here is a wild suggestion.

      How to incorporate the Qur'an into any countries or laws?

      1. Forget about Islamic labels or identities (favorite issues to the Mushrikeen - sectarianism), and do not mention or represent the "religion" of Islam. Islam is not a religion. Focus on what is prohibited in the Qur'an and deals publicly with the question of how to improve the way of life (deen) of all human beings / living creatures.

      2. List all the "DO NOT" in the Qur'an.

      3. Study all religious texts and list all the "DO NOT" in their texts - named it whatever you like - eg. One World Religion Act, Humanitarian Acts etc. Avoid any Islamic names or identities.

      4. Study and master the rule in the "common laws and equity", and any other man-made laws. They cannot reject what is just to human beings, and especially, what come from the man made laws and their religious texts.

      5. Compare the "DO NOT" lists from both the Qur'an and their religious texts.

      6. List out all the "DO NOT" which are consistent or corroborate with the Qur'an.

      7. List out all the rules of equity or laws which are consistent or corroborate with the Qur'an (the "DO NOT" list).

      8. Prepare the draft bill/argument/debate to Parliament - or write books - or as a draft agreement between NGOs - or build website giving free draft agreements etc.

      9. Enacted as laws (not necessarily named as Islamic laws - the name is not important - avoid anything Islamic).

      The strategy can also be applied to any company or society constitution etc.

      Important institution = NGOs related to the research of laws and humanitarian etc.

      Peace.

      It is preferable for the objective to be related with something not causing "mudharat" (harm) to self, others and all living creatures; and according to their faith.

      The priority between .. "prohibition" vs. "command".

      What is "prohibited" (prevention/protection/preservation/justly balanced to human beings) should be given priority over what is commanded by Allah (compulsion to other religions or disbelievers, raise resistance).

      They said
      "Will You place upon it one
      who causes corruption therein <- mudharat
      and sheds blood
      while we declare Your praise and sanctify You?"
      (230)

      So there is no "to promote" in the objective, but "to prevent" (deen, dayn, debt, duty not to cause mudharat, duty to protect).

      O you who have believed
      DO NOT ASK about things
      which if they are shown to you
      will distress you <- Things that will cause resistance in the society. No unity! Mission failed!
      But if you ask about them while the Qur'an is being revealed
      they will be shown to you
      Allah has pardoned that which is past
      and Allah is Forgiving and Forbearing <- It doesn't matter right or wrong, Allah will forgive!

        For you is your deen <- Sectarianism - based on "religion" etc. - a bigot - God alone concept
        and for me is my deen <- Human Unity - based on "deen" - righteousness - fairness
        (109)

        Ibrahim was not a Jew <- Ibrahim has no religion, so as Muhammad. Nonsectarian.
        nor a Christian http//api.ning.com/files/uGCxg7sZSOsBbNwvSUN0m6uFBP5OUvR7e-3lYPcnfzzdki1NKdfBKi*MBEzKhhqFLbCaNgzbOCTwHTwBFp0cz3nyqUP-l7F1/arrowDownSmall.png
        but he was (an) upright (man) <- showing a great concern for what is right, fair and truthful way
        a Muslim <- Muslim = an upright man - a Muslim is defined by the above ayat
        and he was not one of the polytheists <- Sectarianism
        (367-6 Concern with right/wrong in religious matters - 3030-32

        Comparison (refer here)

        Hasty generalization <- sectarianism, religion, bigotry

        Hadith/Sunna/Shia/Christian/Buddha etc is true for A (unjust).
        Hadith/Sunna/Shia/Christian/Buddha etc is true for B (unjust).
        Hadith/Sunna/Shia/Christian/Buddha etc is true for C (unjust).
        Hadith/Sunna/Shia/Christian/Buddha etc is true for D (unjust).

        Therefore...

        Hadith/Sunna/Shia/Christian/Buddha etc is true for
        E (way of life - deen)
        F (way of life - deen)
        G (way of life - deen), etc.

        and..

        What about that is justly balanced in the Hadith/Sunna/Shia/Christian/Buddha etc ?

        Sectarianism, according to one definition, is bigotry, discrimination, or hatred arising from attaching importance to perceived differences between subdivisions within a group, such as between different denominations of a religion, class, regional or factions of a political movement.

        The ideological underpinnings of attitudes and behaviours labelled as sectarian are extraordinarily varied. Members of a religious or political group may believe that their own salvation, or the success of their particular objectives, requires aggressively seeking converts from other groups; adherents of a given faction may believe that for the achievement of their own political or religious project their internal opponents must be converted or purged.

        Sometimes a group that is under economic or political pressure will kill or attack members of another group which it regards as responsible for its own decline. It may also more rigidly define the definition of "orthodox" belief within its particular group or organisation, and expel or excommunicate those who do not support this newfound clarified definition of political or religious 'orthodoxy'. In other cases, dissenters from this orthodoxy will secede from the orthodox organisation and proclaim themselves as practitioners of a reformed belief system, or holders of a perceived former orthodoxy. At other times, sectarianism may be the expression of a group's nationalistic or cultural ambitions, or exploited by demagogues; Wikipedia

        Sectarianism is
        bigotry
        discrimination
        or hatred

        arising from
        attaching importance to perceived differences between subdivisions within a group
        such as between different denominations of
        a religion
        class
        regional
        or factions of a political movement

        Bigotry is

        the state of mind of a bigot

        someone who
        as a result of their prejudices
        treats other people with
        fear
        distrust
        hatred
        contempt
        or intolerance

        on the basis of a person's
        ethnicity
        religion
        national origin
        gender
        sexual orientation
        disability
        socioeconomic status
        or other characteristics

        A bigot is

        a prejudiced person
        who is intolerant
        of any opinions
        differing from their own

        or intolerant of people
        of different
        political views
        ethnicity
        race
        class
        religion
        profession
        sexuality
        or gender

        The origin of the word bigot and bigoterie (bigotry) in English dates back to at least 1598, via Middle French, and started with the sense of "religious hypocrite". This meaning still survives in Italian, in the cognate word bigotto. The exact origin of the word is unknown, but it may have come from the German bei and Gott, or the English by God; Online Etymology Dictionary; see also Nobody wants to be called a bigot

        Discrimination is

        the prejudicial
        and/or distinguishing treatment of an individual

        based on their
        actual or perceived membership
        in a certain group or category
        "in a way that is worse than the way people are usually treated"

        Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah
        is the most righteous of you <- justly balanced; ie. fairness vs. a bigot

        And whoever seeks a "dnan" (&#1575 other than Islam
        it will NEVER be accepted of him
        and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers

          Can a sectarian be a successor or a Khalif?

          Can a sectarian (a bigot) be a judge to other/all human beings?

          Indeed, We have revealed to you
          the Book in truth
          so you may judge between the people <- purpose of the Qur'an
          by that which Allah has shown you
          And do not be for the deceitful an advocate
          (4105)

          Indeed, Allah commands you to render trusts
          to whom they are due <- all human beings, including all living creatures
          and when you judge between people
          to judge with justice
          Excellent is that which Allah instructs you
          Indeed, Allah is ever Hearing and Seeing

                for then you will be of the unjust

                Unquestionably, the help of Allah is near
                (<a href="http//quran.com/2/214">2214</a&gt

                Can anyone know or defeat Allah's plan?

                So leave Me and him who rejects this announcement
                We will overtake them by degrees
                from whence they perceive not
                And I do bear with them
                surely My plan is firm <- Can human beings defeat this plan?
                (<a href="http//quran.com/68/44-45">6844-45</a&gt

                And when they meet those who believe, they say
                We believe
                and when they are alone with their Shaitans, they say
                Surely we are with you, we were only mocking <- it means intentional disobedience, the "DO NOT"
                Allah shall pay them back their mockery Munafiqoon (disobey silently)
                and He leaves them alone in their inordinacy Mushrikeen (disobey openly)
                blindly wandering on
                (<a href="http//quran.com/2/14-15">214-15</a&gt

                  Why Allah guides the prostitute to the straight path?

                  Why Allah guides the thief to the straight path?

                  Why Allah lead astray the Ulemas?

                  What really matters to Allah?

                  What is Allah like to see from us?

                    1 Being absolutely right for the level of 1 year old baby <-- limited by our senses, abilities etc.

                    Similarly, this can be applied to certain life conditions, psychological backgrounds, personal traits, ethnic, educational backgrounds, and etc. These are all variables, and the overall consequences are the Sunnatullah, Absolute Justice.

                    Therefore, does it really matter of being right or wrong?

                    Does the above pattern of being right or wrong really matters to Allah?

                    What about those who live 1,000 years ago, where there is no proper educational system, or where people unable to read the Qur'an? Can they survive and become a real Muslim? Can we apply the same concept of right or wrong?

                    What is the actual standard to become a Muslim?

                    there is no target for becoming a Muslim.

                    http//s14.postimg.org/tp4not4vl/glasses.png

                    There are no fixed rules, and it can be the hardest things to achieve, or it can be the simplest things to achieve; which totally depends on the "Level of Shirk" within ourselves.

                      For example, how can anyone expect to be free from this Shirk?

                      If we based on the concept of right or wrong, then no one would ever survive (without the help of Allah)...

                      And set forth to them a parable of two men
                      for one of them We made two gardens of grape vines
                      and We surrounded them both with palms
                      and in the midst of them We made cornfields

                      Both these gardens yielded their fruits
                      and failed not aught thereof
                      and We caused a river to gush forth in their midst

                      And he possessed much wealth

                      so he said to his companion, while he disputed with him

                      I have greater wealth than you, and am mightier in followers <- Shirk? This is what most people
                      https//www.google.com/help/hc/images/sites_icon_arrow_up_small.gif would say. Greater wealth,
                      And he entered his garden https//www.google.com/help/hc/images/sites_icon_arrow_up_small.gif knowledge, skills, family etc.
                      while he was unjust to himself, He said <- On the issue of justly balanced within ourselves.
                      I do not think that this will ever perish <- This is also what most people would say.
                      And I do not think the hour will come i.e. not come within the next few hours, days, years etc.
                      and even if I am returned to my Lord <- Same, and most people believe they will be in Paradise.
                      I will most certainly find a returning place better than this Proof that he believe in Allah and the
                      Hour will come, but not in his lifetime.
                      His companion said to him while disputing with him

                      Do you disbelieve in Him <- Shirk?
                      Who created you from dust
                      then from a small seed
                      then He made you a perfect man?

                      But as for me
                      He, Allah, is my Lord
                      and I do not associate anyone with my Lord <- Who is "anyone" in this story context? Self?

                        And the forerunners, the forerunners <- justly balanced (Sunnatullah -> just + unjust)

                            http//s22.postimg.org/zaua8dhr1/monkey.png

                            Proof that there is no faith... not yet.

                            The test.

                            Example on the standard required to attain righteousness

                            By no means shall you attain to righteousness
                            until you spend (benevolently)
                            out of what you love
                            and whatever thing you spend
                            Allah surely knows it
                            (392)

                            And they ask you as to what they should spend (sadaqah)
                            Say What you can spare
                            Thus does Allah make clear to you the communications
                            that you may ponder
                            (2219)

                            Who can sadaqa all his property for Allah?

                            Try practicing this for 7 continuous years without failed.

                            Do you feel worry?

                            Hard to accept?

                            If yes, then there is no faith.

                            It is quite simple.

                            The believers
                            are only <- exclusionary principle and the definition of believers
                            the ones who have believed in Allah and His Messenger
                            and then doubt not
                            but strive with their properties
                            and their lives
                            in the cause of Allah
                            It is those who are the truthful.
                            (4915)

                            Unquestionably, the allies of Allah
                            there will be no fear concerning them
                            nor will they grieve
                            (1062-64)

                            Do the people think
                            that they will be left to say,
                            "We believe"
                            and they will not be tried?

                            There are no fixed rules, and it can be the hardest things to achieve, or it can be the simplest things to achieve; which totally depends on the "Level of Shirk" within ourselves.

                              there is no target for becoming a Muslim.

                              What really matters to Allah?

                              What is Allah like to see from us?

                              The struggling and going is the goal, and it doesn't matter where we start (or end), as long as we start somewhere and keep on improving our life and strengthening our faith.

                              The actual requirement in the Qur'an is for human beings to learn, understand, and reform continuously for the better (istiqamah - changes from within ourselves comes first - roots of a tree).

                              It is the process of understanding that matter, not the end results (comparison - how can one expect to be free from shirk within a short period of time? Impossible!). Therefore it doesn't matter or less relevant to Islam if peoples wear Hijab or not, since it is not the real issue in Islam. In fact, it is the most irrelevant issue to the society (it is personal issue - 5105).

                              Indeed, the worst of living creatures in the sight of Allah
                              are the deaf and dumb
                              who do not use reason <- The importance of reason, and not becoming a robot (blind follower)
                              (822) (trees without roots - how long can it hold straight on the ground?)

                              And before it was the scripture of Moses
                              to lead and as a mercy

                              And this is a confirming Book
                              in an Arabic tongue
                              to warn those who have wronged
                              and as good tidings to the doers of good <- Is this the reality of our life? Is it true? If not, why?
                              Indeed, those who have said
                              "Our Lord is Allah"
                              and then remained on a right course
                              there will be no fear concerning them
                              nor will they grieve
                              (4612-13)

                              Do you not see
                              that ships sail through the sea
                              by the favor of Allah
                              that He may show you of His signs?
                              Indeed in that are signs
                              for everyone patient <- the standard or main requirements, patient and grateful
                              and grateful <- Alhamdu
                              (3131)

                              Indeed, Allah is with those
                              who fear Him
                              and those who are doers of good
                              (16128)

                              Those who believe
                              and do righteous good deeds

                              there is no sin on them
                              for what they ate

                              if they fear Allah
                              and believe
                              and do righteous good deeds

                              and again
                              fear Allah
                              and believe

                              and once again
                              fear Allah
                              and do good deeds

                              with Ihsan (perfection)

                              And Allah loves the good-doers
                              (593)

                              Except for those who repent
                              correct themselves
                              hold fast to Allah
                              and are sincere in their deen for Allah <- requires understanding
                              for those will be with the believers
                              And Allah is going to give the believers a great reward
                              (4146)

                              There is not upon the weak
                              or upon the ill
                              or upon those who do not find anything to spend any discomfort
                              when they are sincere
                              to Allah and His Messenger
                              There is not upon the doers of good any cause
                              And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful
                              (991)

                              And cause not corruption upon the earth
                              after its reformation
                              And invoke Him in fear and aspiration
                              Indeed, the mercy of Allah
                              is near to the doers of good
                              (756)

                              Indeed, Allah does not allow to be lost the reward
                              of the doers of good
                              (9120)

                                  Depends on the Level of Shirk

                                  Those with "one heart" (no heart) will never commit Shirk
                                  Shirk or Faith requires "the right elements of" Iman and Amal to be presence
                                  Therefore
                                  Condition = Iman + Amal = Not Shirk/Faith
                                  Similarly = Iman + Amal = Not Shirk/Faith
                                  Iman + Amal = Shirk/Faith

                                  And rely on Allah
                                  and Allah is sufficient for a Protector.
                                  Allah has not made for a man two hearts in his interior.
                                  (333-4)

                                The struggling and going is the goal, and it doesn't matter where we start (or end), as long as we start somewhere and keep on improving our life and strengthening our faith.

                                    The process of returning to Allah.

                                    Transition from the first realm (womb)

                                    Willingly (obedience) or unwillingly (disobedience) empty our heart to Allah

                                    The repentance accepted by Allah
                                    is only for those
                                    who do wrong
                                    in ignorance <- conditions for repentance - two conditions
                                    and then repent soon after
                                    It is those to whom Allah will turn in forgiveness
                                    and Allah is ever Knowing and Wise

                                    But repentance is not
                                    of those who
                                    do evil deeds <- conditions for repentance
                                    up until, when death comes to one of them, he says
                                    "Indeed, I have repented now,"
                                    or of those who die while they are disbelievers

                                    For them We have prepared a painful punishment
                                    (417-1

                                      What is reward and sin?

                                      tools to enter paradise and avoiding hell?

                                      It is obvious that we cannot avoid sin
                                      It is the unavoidable things in life..
                                      No matter how good we are ... how hard we try..
                                      We will always committing sins and shirk (eg. refer here)

                                      sin = dust

                                      http//s16.postimg.org/r0fyr5g51/dusty.png

                                      However, it is always easier to standing up for good deeds
                                      It is easier to become a righteous person
                                      It is something that are accomplishable

                                      reward = soap

                                      http//s18.postimg.org/c03hpnyw9/soap.png

                                      Therefore, the actual system (or the awwaliyah) of the Deen of Islam is not really about avoiding sin

                                      BUT it is more about becoming a righteous person

                                      It is about benefiting humanity and kindness to His creation

                                      Becoming humble and understand human beings and other living creatures...

                                      It is Allah who will purifies us from our sin and shirk, no one can <- main reason why we need Allah (al-Fatihah)
                                      and.. based on our good deeds and level of righteousness

                                      Therefore, our real objectives are becoming a righteous person, while striving hard and praying to Allah for forgiveness.

                                      Praying to Allah to show us the right path, and purify us from sins and shirk (since we can never avoids shirk).

                                      Prostrate to Adam!

                                      The relation between reward and sin .. which one is dominant in ourselves?

                                      benefiting humanity, or on the issue of "right and wrong in religion"?

                                      http//i40.tinypic.com/28slzs0.png

                                      avoiding sin = right/wrong = fire element

                                      ?Stupidity is the same as evil if you judge by the results.? (refer to al-Anfal22)

                                      It is wonderful how much time good people spend fighting the devil
                                      If they would only expend the same amount of energy loving their fellow men
                                      the devil would die in his own tracks of ennui

                                          Example on the standard required to attain righteousness

                                          By no means shall you attain to righteousness
                                          until you spend (benevolently)
                                          out of what you love
                                          and whatever thing you spend
                                          Allah surely knows it
                                          (392)

                                          And they ask you as to what they should spend (sadaqah)
                                          Say What you can spare
                                          Thus does Allah make clear to you the communications
                                          that you may ponder
                                          (2219)

                                          What is Sadaqah?
                                          Is it physical material?
                                          Or being faithfully Truthful for the purpose of Allah?

                                          Peace
